Things that bug:
-Paying $90 for a haircut and color and getting a butcher job with layers that I just finally grew out and a color that I hate!
-A 3 year old that was once potty trained and is now back in pull ups full time because of three poops in underwear in one day. Hates to go to the bathroom because "there is so much to do, wiping, washing hands, blah blah blah"
-A 3 year old that is obsessed with gum and mom and dad drinks and asks for them ALL DAY LONG!
-A 3 year old that thinks she has to eat ALL DAY LONG!!!
-Children whose noses NEVER stop running!
-Never ending laundry and dishes
-Not being able to workout because I can't get a spot in the infant area at the gym and when I can the kids are taking naps and all the good classes are when the husband is not home
-3 year olds that won't go to bed, play when they should be sleeping and want to sleep in bed with mom and dad
-sometimes frankly just 3 year olds (can you tell it's been a bad day?)
Things that make me laugh:
-Kennedy insisting tonight that the missionary feel her leotard because it is velvet but not on her shoulder on her "tummy or boomers" (missionary turning bright red)
-Yelling to Kennedy that she can eat as soon as the dang missionaries show up for dinner (20 min late) just as they knock on the door (yelled so loud near the door that I am sure they heard me)
-Kennedy doing her ballet when she thinks no one is watching
-Wiggly babies that smile at anything...thanks Sophie
Ever had one of those days?
For a fun idea for easy carmeled apples go to

Thanks, Summer, this made me feel slightly less alone in a world....as today has been "one of those days!" mom-can i have a snack? mom-is it time for school yet? mom-can i eat my skittles? mom-play dentist with me! It was a day of endless requests....and to top it all off, Paige pooped in the tub which called for a total evacuation and hose down of both kids. Awesome!!!
Being a mom is a lot harder job than I ever anticipated it being. As a teacher, I am really critical of parents when I see messed up kids. Now, I just hope that my kid won't be too messed up, because I have no freakin' idea what I'm doing. I thought this mom business couldn't be too hard since I was 30, and have taught a gazillion kids, but having one of your own is SOOOOO much different! Good luck to the Terrible Three's! No worries, they only last a year! :)
WOW! In the 90's it was Calgon take me away...... We need to come up with a newer THANG for us!
Hope today is better, brighter, and full of more of the funnies!
So let's get this straight, You actually have bad hair day? Yeah right!!!
So sorry about the hair! That is so frustrating! And I am SO glad to see that my three year old isn't the only one out there bound and determined to make their mom lose her mind.
Oooooh that little redhead makes us laugh! Honestly, the comments about the bathroom will be soooo funny--in about 5 years. ;) As for the leotard comments, HILARIOUS. Why do they save their best ones for the missionaries?! So funny. So sorry you had a rough day though. Being a mommy is exhausting at times isn't it?
You know how I feel about three year olds right now. Does it ever get better? I wish you could have seen the tantrum that took place in our front yard yesterday about not liking the shirt I made her wear to Disney on Ice. Yikes. I just hang onto the words of older, wiser parents that say it will get better and some day we will be glad we have strong-willed children. I'm not so sure.
